A young man who bought an enormous stuffed animal for his girlfriend and strapped it to the top of his luxury supercar has been fined for his romantic gesture.

Traffic police said the unnamed man's actions endangered traffic, as the giant toy bear could have fallen off at any minute, especially since it was strapped to the top of a speedy Lamborghini Gallardo.

Celebrity traffic officer Tan Qiao, who hosts a daily programme about traffic in Chengdu - capital of south-west China's Sichuan Province - came across the large stuffed animal which was being hauled on top of the expensive supercar.

The car's driver, pictured with a smog mask, was driving his Lamborghini Gallardo, which returns about 16 miles-per-gallon when he was stopped by police over the giant teddy bear strapped to the back of his supercar which officers described as a menace to other road users

The driver told officers that he had bought his girlfriend a large teddy bear as a sign of his love for her and wanted to deliver it

The man tried to call his friends to find someone who could help him with the bear... but nobody had a sensible family saloon

Instead he was forced to call a taxi as officers warned him that he could not carry the teddy on his Lamborghini

Unsurprisingly, the vehicle and its furry passenger had been causing quite a lot of commotion amongst all who saw it in Chengdu.

The young man told police that he bought the bear for his girlfriend as a 'special gift' and that he was forced to strap it to the top of the car when the toy would not fit inside the vehicle.
